MYRTOS
Apparently recently voted one of the top 5 beaches in the world and the most beautiful beach in Greece for several consecutive years.

Myrtos is situated in the region of Pylaros, in the north-west of Kefalonia, Greece, between two mountains, Agia Dynati and Kalon Oros. The beach is made of round white cobblestones which decrease in size to that of a small pebble. The sediment gradually becomes smaller as you approach the shoreline.

Myrtos is magnificent. A true paradise. This beach is usually very calm. However, be very careful of the undercurrent. Getting in and out of the sea can be 'interesting' as the shore drops away very quickly, but once in, swimming out and looking back at the view is fantastic. Check out the wonderful little cave at the end of the beach.

For those that have seen Captain Corelli's mandolin, this is where the 'blowing up of the mine' scene was shot.
